(Reuters) - The International Olympic Committee (IOC) can expect record revenues for the four-year period 2005-2008 which includes the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics and August's Beijing Games.

Backed by record deals for its international top sponsors programme, its broadcasting rights contracts and the domestic sponsorship programme, the current four-year period ending on December 31 is set to become the most successful in the history of the IOC.

This trend is seen continuing into the next two-Games package for Vancouver 2010 and London 2012, boosted by increased broadcast rights revenues from television and new media.

Here are some facts on the IOC's finances:

2005-2008 revenues (Turin-Beijing)

Broadcasting $2.5 billion

TOP sponsors $866 million

Domestic sponsorship-Beijing Games est. $1 billion
